I'm becoming more and more convinced that people are using LLMs to write their ebay descriptions and then not checking them before they post. Mostly because 'Featuring four wheels' is not something that most people would put in the description of a wheelchair, and I've now seen it multiple times.

This was the September Goblin Dross. (My goal is to get 10 MEMBERS by the end of the year. The dross goblin sends out handmade goodies + tea + candy + random teeny bits to keep or share!) ✨ Want your own joy? Just $6! -> ko-fi.com/murphypop/ti... ✨ #GoblinDross #MailFun #MailArt #KoFi
Photo of the contents of a Goblin Dross package, all ready to be put in an envelope and mailed out. It includes a Dross Goblin comic, two hand-made mushroom prints/bookmarks, random scrapbook paper, two packets of tea, a small hand drawn zine about mushrooms, a large yellow flower decal/sticker, and a small envelope labeled "last of summer shimmer" filled with semi-transparent confetti.

At the bottom of the photo is an illustration of the Dross Goblin, a small pink goblin wearing white framed glasses and a fancy dress and hat made from yellow/white mushrooms. Around her on the ground are small purple mushrooms.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

In the U.S. at least historically, if you own a mule and that mule kicks someone, you’re liable for the mule’s actions, and mules have real agency and a mind. With these “escaped the sandbox” intrusions, obviously it’s a user error for not having a truly sandboxed environment. (h/t @metacurity.com )

There are currently 3,887 *reported* cases of measles in the United States, 1004 of which are in Pennsylvania (the worst year since 1991). The true total is likely far, far higher. The related pain, suffering, and deaths are all directly due to Donald Trump and RFK jr. They are trying to cull us.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

We don’t know. It’s getting the cover-up treatment as we can see from the changes to the story coming out of the region, which historically is not a good sign. Masking in public is a good precaution generally against covid still, but essential now if you’re on a flight or area with int’l travelers
